Have you ever had a moment in your business when you were doing what you needed to do when you needed to do it, and the flow of your days felt good? If so, I’m willing to bet that was short lived. Not because you were doing it wrong, or there’s something wrong with you. But because you’re a human being who changes and evolves, and you’re running a business that also changes and evolves. In this week’s episode I invite you to lean into your work-in-progressness.
